As most people, I have a bit of a sweet tooth. I normally can control it (yes, normally), but after I eat dinner, I get struck (ie obsessed) with sweet foods. This recipe definitely satisfied my sweet tooth. And even better, it only takes minutes to make this.

Since I'm attempting to save money, I'm going through my freezer. You know, the stuff that's been in there for a little bit, but always seem to not be in the mood for? Yup. For me, tonight, it was tilapia. I am not the biggest fan of fish. Basically, if it tastes like fish, count me out. Even tilapia tastes fishy. I'm trying to broaden my horizons. I figured if I cover it with lots of vinaigrette, it'll hide any fishy taste. And thankfully, I was right!!! I served it with a Brussels Sprouts Salad, mirroring some of the ingredients as the vinaigrette, so they compliment each other nicely.

Preheat a toaster oven (a conventional oven may be used as well) to 375 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk the ingredients together. On a small baking dish (I used a toaster oven), place the tilapia. Top with some vinaigrette, reserving two tablespoons. Bake about 12-15 minutes. Remove and then top with more vinaigrette.

So, I was catching up with a friend of mine the other day (hi Alan!) and he guilted me just a bit about not having posted anything in way too long. He's right, it has been entirely too long. I've been getting into shape (hopefully a good shape...I'm going for octagon), so I've been working on eating healthy. I've been getting addicted to green smoothies (LOVE my magic bullet and yes it's in the background of the picture) and once I can figure out how to make it pretty in pictures, I will start posting them. In the meantime, a healthy turkey burger. You're welcome, Alan.

In a small bowl, combine all ingredients. For the parmesan cheese, add in as much as you would like for taste. I like about two tablespoons. Add more egg or bread crumbs as to make the turkey mixture not too dry or wet.

Form into patties and cook over medium heat on a grill pan. Serve on a bun with all the fixings.

About Me

I grew up watching and learning from my dad cooking in the kitchen. He somehow managed to take what looked like "nothing to eat" and turn it into a feast. He taught me how to appreciate and love food.
It seems like life has a habit of getting in the way of what we all rather be doing (eating and cooking mostly!). Sometimes you have to slow down and make real food. It's one of the best comforts available.
